Muslim Representative Andre Carson to Be Nominated to Another Security Position

Police
profile people for a reason.

If
someone says they were robbed at gunpoint by a short white girl with dark curly
hair, brown eyes and a Tinker Bell t-shirt, then police should be on the
lookout for short white girls with dark curly hair, brown eyes and Tinker Bell
t-shirts… regardless of whether there are dozens of such individuals out
wandering the streets or not.

If
they decided to also include tall blond men in three-piece suits in their
search for said suspect, they’d be more than wasting their time. In fact, they’d
be downright incompetent, a public menace and a waste of taxpayer dollars.

The
same therefore goes for the TSA not being a little more suspicious about lone,
young Arab men boarding flights. When we have such a clear and reliable
description of our suspects, it’s inept to ignore it.

Just
like it’s probably inept to nominate a Muslim to security-minded boards within
the United States Congress. But that’s
what Nancy Pelosi announced yesterday, saying that Representative Andre
Carson of Indiana should be joining the House’s Permanent Select Committee on
Intelligence.

Oh
yeah, and Carson already serves on the Armed Services Committee and used to
work for the Department of Homeland Security’s Fusion Center, which streamlines
information shared by the CIA, FBI, DOJ and military.

I’m
not trying to be a bigoted jerk here by questioning the government’s judgment
in allowing Muslims such influence over our political field. I acknowledge and
respect that not all Muslims are terrorists.

Just
like all Russians weren’t anti-American Communists back during the Cold War.

Yet
there were still enough of them back then to be seriously concerned. We knew
that our way of life and theirs didn’t match. And we knew that a significant
number of them wanted to flat-out destroy our way of life altogether.

We
nonetheless ignored those blatantly obvious facts, welcoming them into top
positions without our political scene. They didn’t have to go to any great
covert lengths to get our information. We handed it to them! The result was
that Americans lives were jeopardized, compromised and lost.

Clearly,
we haven’t learned our lesson since we’re doing exactly the same thing with the
Muslim threat. By not acknowledging our “police profiles” as they were, we’re setting
ourselves up for more Charlie Hebdos and even 9/11s.

Yes, that’s
stereotyping, but sometimes stereotypes are necessary. We can drop this
particular one just as soon as we stop seeing so many terrorist attacks
committed by Muslims.
